Romney returning to FL airwaves?

The Buzz is that the Mitt Romney campaign, having gone dark on FL TV is making inquiries with TV stations about going back on the air in Florida (or at least Tampa Bay) by this weekend.

The renewed optimism, we assume, comes from the GIANT win in Hernando County on Jan. 10: a straw poll at the Timber Pines Republican Club found Romney with 34% support, John McCain with 31%; Rudy Giuliani with 19% (ouch-this is Bill McCollum's native county!);  Mike Huckabee at 12% and Fred Thompson at 3%.

This is the funniest thing I have ever read.

"The renewed optimism, we assume, comes from the GIANT win in Hernando County on Jan. 10: a straw poll at the Timber Pines Republican Club found Romney with 34% support, John McCain with 31%; Rudy Giuliani with 19% (ouch-this is Bill McCollum's native county!); Mike Huckabee at 12% and Fred Thompson at 3%.

I am no fan of Romney, but the guy has a ton of cash and seems willing to blow it... so I don't expect him to go out without a fight.

Ha ha ha. If Mitt wants to waste his own money on useless ads, let him. That means less money for him to spend on any future races!

Go, Mitt, Go!

GIANT win? Am I missing more digits in Mitt's numbers, because it looks like 3 points...

GO JOHN MCCAIN!

Or the real reason could be two Florida polls out today that show it statistically a four-way tie in Florida.

Once Mitt wins Michigan tomorrow (the polls seem to indicate that), he'll get a bump and be ready to send Rudy back to his lobbying firm while he and McCain get ready for Super Tuesday.

Go Mitt GO!!!!!!!!

NE FL is Romney Country.

Romney has been endorsed by all law enforcement (Sheriffs) in the surrounding 4 counties, the grassroots love him and the polls reflect it.

Romney is a joke! The guy would probably sell his own mamma for a couple of votes. How can you go through 55 years of life and not know where you stand on issues like abortion, gun control, immigration, tax cuts, and gay marriage. The guy has taken both sides of the above issues at least once in the last five years. We don't need a Republican Bill Clinton in the White House! The fools who support this guy are nuttier than Ron Paul supporters!

John McCain appears to be the only GOP candidate who will do what he says, and say what he does. The fact that the Washington establishment does not like McCain means he is a threat to the same old song and dance. That's what America needs after 8 yrs. of Bush and 8 yrs. of Clinton -- both of whom were bumbling do-nothings. John McCain for all his warts will tell us what we NEED as opposed to just giving us what we WANT. That means we may finally get real Social Security reform, an end to wasteful pork-barrell spending, and tax-cuts with dollar-for-dollar spending cuts (the spending mess the current crop of GOPers led by Bush is atrocious). So please voters, wake up and recognize we need someone to give us all a dose of distasteful medicine. Sorry for all the Giuliani and Romney supporters, but they just don't have the spine or convictions to do it. And Ron Paul, for all his great ideas has 20 ridiculous ones for every good one.

Give America's next generation a hope for a brighter future. Vote McCain!!!

Loses Michigan, out of race

Santorum: McCain Presidency Very Dangerous

Monday, January 14, 2008 4:48 PM

By: Newmax Staff

Former Senator and leading conservative Rick Santorum says a John McCain presidency would be “very, very dangerous for Republicans.”

Santorum — who was defeated in 2006 after two terms as a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania — was sharply critical of fellow Republican McCain in an interview that aired last week on syndicated talk radio host Mark Levin’s show.

Responding to Levin’s observation that McCain is trying to recast himself as more conservative now that he is seeking the GOP presidential nomination, Santorum said:

“It’s amazing to hear what John McCain is trying to convince the voters he is all about. The bottom line is, I served 12 years with him, six years in the Senate as one of the leaders of the Senate, trying to put together the conservative agenda, and almost at every turn, on domestic policy, John McCain was not only against us, but leading the charge on the other side.”

Santorum cited the campaign finance reform bill sponsored by McCain, the McCain-Feingold Act, which limits campaign contributions and has been called by some an “incumbent protection act.”

Santorum called the act “an affront to personal freedom and liberty in this country, and what we’ve seen as a result of this misguided attempt to placate the New York Times and to help his stature within that community … is that special interests have absolutely taken over the political process, and individual candidates, unless you’re a billionaire, and parties have very little voice in the process.

“It’s a shame, but he was obviously out front on that.”

The former Senator also criticized McCain for voting against the Bush Tax cuts — he was one of only two Republicans to do so.

“The reduction in [tax] rates and lowering the rates on capital gains and dividends … did so much to get this economy up and going. [But] we would have had a much bigger tax cut if it were not for John McCain.”

Santorum pointed to McCain’s opposition to conservative positions on drug re-importation, federally funded embryonic stem cell research, immigration, the questioning of terror detainees and other issues, and said he has a “big fear” of a McCain presidency.

He asserted it would create a “huge rift” in the Republican Party, and told Levin’s listeners:

“I think he’s been solid in the war on terror … but on domestic policy, he’s very, very dangerous for Republicans.

“There’s nothing worse than having a Democratic Congress and a Republican president who would act like a Democrat in matters that are important to conservatives.”

Santorum also claimed that McCain was a leader of Senate moderates that often stopped Republicans from pushing strong pro-life legislation.

Santorum said he had not decided which candidate he will vote for in the upcoming GOP primary, but ruled out voting for McCain.

Santorum expressed the same sentiment back in March, saying he would support whoever wins the Republican nomination for president in 2008, with the exception of John McCain.

As Newsmax reported at the time, Santorum said in an interview: "I don’t agree with him on hardly any issues. I don’t think he has the temperament and leadership ability to move the country in the right direction.”

The most important issue across party lines and especially in the Republican party is the ECONOMY! ..McCain does NOT know anything about the economy, Huckabee does not since he will FORGIVE and PARDON all the national debt and foreign countries' loans, Rudy is not strong either on the economy; all the Dems have the Karl Marx economics (welfare state)and that leaves one candidate who will bring posterity back - MITT ROMNEY! He knows how to fix things!

Yeah, Go Mitt, GO - AWAY!!

All Mitt Romney knows is how to stick his finger in the air and see witch way the wind is blowing. That is the way he will go. He is a shameless master at reading the polls and catering to every interest group he needs to court in order to win. A Republican version of William Jefferson Clinton. YUCK!!!

[Bill McCollum (reincarnated Herbert Hoover)]

Bill's top staff are regulators at heart and not give a damn about free market principles (why would you appoint Trish Connors--and avowed anti-free market anti-trust regulator as a top deputy) and then to try and stick it to Microsoft just like the European Union(go look it up--McCollum is going to for more blood from microsoft--and very exceptionaly american business btw--and now look--Bill's comrades in Europe are doing this: The European Commission (a hot bed of anti-trust regulator like Trish) are launching new investigations into microsofts Vista software. Bill and the EU won't be happy until this company is put our of business.

[If you want to gut the 1st amendment--then vote for McCain]

The First Amendment to the Constitution is not Progressive. It gives greater weight to the right of the individual to speak, to write, and to associate than to any collective purpose the government might have in suppressing speech. That right includes inevitably a right to spend money to speak, to write, and to associate. Without the right to spend, the other rights would have no concrete meaning.

In contrast, Progressives see speech as a means to a collective good -- improved public debate -- attained by government restrictions on individual liberty. In this view, free speech and free spending are mere self-interest or selfishness, vices to be overcome by benevolent censors.

For McCain, such self-interest should be sacrificed to the higher cause of "clean government." Hence, McCain's infamous statement on Don Imus's radio show: "I would rather have a clean government than one where quote First Amendment rights are being respected, that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government."

Mitt Romney = flip flopping snake oil salesman.

[as predicted.]

McCollum kiss of deathdid it to our hero Rudy. You suck mccollum.
